Microsoft operating system business has been declining in the United States lately. This is a fact for the foreseeable future and will probably continue long-term unless Windows 8 surprises us all!

Do you like Windows 7?
Why did you make the choice to switch to Windows 7? Did you look at other options? Was it more of a reaction due to the few other easy options? Did you go with what you saw others were doing or the only option your computer provider gave you? Did your experiences of Microsoft’s previous operating systems gave you a perception that the new one would be just as great! Read the rest of this entry »
Windows 8 won’t be what you want
You hope and pray Microsoft will make a decent Windows 8 for you. The problem is people don’t think like you. We are all the only one of its kind and like politics we all think different, we want different things. Windows 8 needs to make everyone happy to maintain the market share of its operating systems of the past. We all wish to be unique and focus on separating ourselves from others.
Should they focus on a more narrow market? How should they segment the markets? I could see Windows 8 customizing the operating system into focus markets based on behavior, geographical, political, or focus on business types compared to home users. Make the kernel compatibility between each customized region easy and options to switch Windows 8’s focus (for example ‘American to European’)
Why does Microsoft keep a majority? They don’t add many features; it’s easier that way to maintain a majority. Does Microsoft really need Windows 8 as a majority market share? I think everyone would be better off splitting Windows 8 into different projects. Ultimately, you probably won’t be completely satisfied, because you want what others don’t. That’s Life!
Windows 8 – What If
What if Microsoft wasn’t the corporation behind Windows 8? Windows 8 you say? YES! Lets get a little crazy! YEEEHAAA How would you feel if Nike or Pepsi shocked the world and bought Microsoft’s future operating system? Windows 8 designed by someone other than Microsoft could shake up the operating system market! What about a chocolate company, cadbury or hersey’s?
We are pretty confident that this would never happen of course. Why would a company that has no business getting into an operating system wish to buy an operating system? To diversify and sell their other products, control advertising, and dictate the behaviors of the users using an operating system such as Windows 8. Of course, they wouldn’t keep the name Microsoft and would probably rename Windows 8 to something like “Delicious”.
The point of this Windows 8 article? Technology starts off being fresh and new, it reaches maturity and all is well, then greed sets in during the decline. They exploit the shit out of the remaining customers and tries to go nuts with advertising tactics of pushing their other products or playing games with rebates. Commercialization is great to a point of decline! The only chance Microsoft has with Windows 8 would be a fresh ground breaking idea.
